2. According to HM Regulations for the Household Division, the HQ company and four rifle companies of the London Regiment are neither Foot Guards nor household troops; they are attached to the Division, rather than a constituent part of it.
3. The Royal Regiment of Scotland also has an incremental company assigned to public duties in Edinburgh
4. One battalion of the Parachute Regiment is assigned as part of the SFSG
